a script that will move (save in Pine lingo) all messages from one Pine

If these are standard unix mbox format folders (as opposed to UW's mbx
format, or something else) you should be able to edit the first folder
with a text editor, delete the first message (ignoring "DO NOT DELETE"
warnings in that message) and then "cat editedfolder >> targetfolder"
(note ">>" for append, not ">" which will overwrite).

If that procedure makes you nervous, try downloading the imap-utils from
ftp://ftp.cac.washington.edu/mail/imap-utils.tar.Z -- there's a utility
in there for shuffling messages and mailboxes around, and because of the
way UW's mail software is structured it should work on local folders as
well as through an IMAP server, in spite of the name.
